The Drombeg prospect, which is situated in Frontier Exploration Licence (FEL) 2/14, is a significant Lower Cretaceous stratigraphic amplitude/AVO supported exploration target. The prospect is located in 2,500-m water depth and is 220 km off the west coast of Ireland. FEL 2/14 is operated by Providence (80%) on behalf of its partner Sosina Exploration (20%).

Providence has agreed to licence c. 1,100 sq km of 3D seismic data over Drombeg, which is being acquired by Polarcus as part of a minimum 4,300 sq km non-exclusive multi-client survey. This is one of the largest ever 3D seismic surveys to have been acquired offshore Ireland and is utilizing the M/V Polarcus Amani, which is an ice-class, next generation seismic vessel.
